Lusaka Dynamos will get a chance to cash in on moneymaking Nkana when they host them in Lusaka on Sunday in a Faz Super Division Week 15 fixture.
Dynamos have decided to host Nkana on Sunday instead of Saturday to maximize on gate-takings against their crowd-pulling guests from Kitwe.
Furthermore, Dynamos have decided to play the match at Woodlands stadium that can pack at least 5000 spectators, a lager venue compared to their Queensmead stadium that can only accommodate approximately 1000 fans.
Nkana have proved to be hit not only at home but on their travels away from home bringing windfalls in terms of match day revenue for their hosts.
Meanwhile, the league will resume after referees boycotted last weekend’s Week 14 matches in protest over better match official fees.
The referees called off their boycott on Wednesday after a meeting with Faz.
Faz and the Referee Association of Zambia resolved to adjust upwards officiating fees.
Match officials handling Super Division games will be getting K60, 000 for transport for local matches.
Out of town matches will see them receive between K100,000 and K400,000 depending on the kilometers covered; in addition to the K150,000 officiating fee.
Referees in division 1 will also get the same for transport as their Super Division counterparts with K60, 000 for officiating, while assistant referees will get K55, 000 while match commissioners receiving K80,000.
Any referee handling a cup final will be paid a minimum of K1 million while their assistants will get K800,000.
Now FAZ are alking although these guys should actually be paid more
Anyway, good start!

Woodlands stadium is a 5000 capacity seater stadium ? oh dear! thought it was more than that
And only 1000 for Queensmead stadium, goes to show how you can’t make money from owning a team in Zambia.

OH no this country needs to be serious,how can u surely pay officials 150,000.this is un heard of,thats why the quality of football in Zambia,can not improve,it makes it easy to bribe officials who get as little as 250,000.God Help us.
Greetings people, anyone out there with information as to where I can find information on the history of sport in Zambia? or the development of sport in Zambia?
